While this definition of host/target appears wrong, it doesn't matter in
this case.

IIRC, the powerful-but-hellish autotools system gives these meanings to
build/host/target:

build - the type of the system used to configure and build a package.
Defaults to output of `config.guess`

host - the type of the system on which the built package executes.
Defaults to the same type as the build system and enables cross
compilation mode.

target - used for building compiler tools for cross compiling. The type
of the system for which any compiler tools built from the package
produce code for. Defaults to the same type as the host.


I believe it's more correct to use `RbConfig::CONFIG['host_os']` to
determine *nix v. Windows.

Here's output from two builds, the first built natively on Windows with
MinGW, and the second built on Arch Linux cross compiled with MinGW for
Windows.

 |   puts "#{k} = #{v}" if k =~ /build|host|target/
